The all-new Tri-State Show Choir Camp will be held June 21-24 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Union Presbyterian Church in Fort Madison.
The cost is $75 per student and will feature Taylor Stoddard, Anne Chapman and Jason Woodsley as instructors, with guest clinician Allen Chapman.
Students will learn two choreographed songs and a ballad and have breakout sessions with professional performers. Each student will receive a t-shirt and will enjoy daily snacks.
There will be a public performance at 6:30 p.m. on June 24 at Fort Madison Central Park.
The camp aims to “hone the skills of those currently involved in show choir and to provide an opportunity to participate for those who may not have a show choir at their school,” according to the camp flyer. .
